LA China Oaxaquena

The chip and salsa were good but that’s about it. Don’t order any meat unless you want spend your time chewing and then finding out it didn’t taste very good. We ordered combo plates that weren’t cheap either. I suppose if we ordered less expensive dishes we wouldn’t have felt so bad. The place is a little dirty also.

The carne asada I unfortunately ate here has got to be one of the saddest carne asadas I’ve ever seen in my life. The caldo de res is virtually tasteless no matter how much sauce or condiments you try to save it with. We had two sodas. One was expired. However, I give this place credit for only having one expired soda versus pupusa loca which had 2 expired sodas. This place is awful, save your money and go elsewhere.

Surprising little restaurant that is great and affordable.
My sister in law brought me here for lunch– she had some type of chicken with a red mole sauce that she said was delicious. I had a burrito with asada and chorizo and it was great! It was also only $ 5 so you can’t beat that!
Would deff recommend if you want some authentic food.

GREAT! The mole is excellent. The enmoladas knocked my socks off. I also tried the Tlayuda. Everything was very fresh and not too heavy on the stomach. The service was a bit slow but you can’t complain when you are paying like 8 dollars for a full plate of food at dinner time! Will definitely be going here when I am feeling some Oaxacan Food.

So, I decided to check out this hole-​in-​the-​wall as I was on my way home from Gnomon School of Special Effects. It was about 7pm and I was looking to try some place new. This small place had a sign written in Spanish, which read «LA China Oaxaquena» with bunch of pictures. I’m thinking «Mexican Chinese food?» Anyways, I decided to check it out.
The interior is quite small, but decorative with traditional patterns and dolls. I take it that people mostly have their food «to go» here, as there are about 6 – 9 tables.
I asked what the most popular item was, and it was a chicken plate mixed in mole sauce. Now, I’m not particularly too familiar with the variety of mole sauces that is out there, but this was excellent. The nicely roasted chicken with dark, sweet (possibly Chocolate-​hinted) mole sauce with spices, was near perfect with its mixture of sweet and spicy. Great blend.
Overall, I’d certainly come back here and try out some of the other items in the menu. I admit I’m still a little puzzled about the «China» element, which I had forgotten to ask.
